I had tein basic's and those were the s**t slammed all the way down and the ride was like stock maybe just a tad stiffer for a daily driver cant go wrong,
I have stance gr+ now only because I wanted some thing stiffer so I can go lower with my strech poke wheel combo it is stiffer overall but the g is not my daily driver anymore.

I've been running with Stance GR+ for awhile... I recommend them as they can slam all the way down. BC Coilovers are also ones you should look into... tons of people run them and most don't even have issues. Both are about 1200 for a set...

of those you inquired, i'd go with stance and get custom spring rates. 10f/8r (preferably swift progressive rates) is a good spring setup with a lower damping rate would not be at all harsh for everyday hawaii driving. if you plan on slamming them, i suggest getting linear rate springs.

do not get the LX if you plan on running
an aggressive wheel/tire setup. I have the LX with 20x8.5 +5 on my sedan and it definitely not stiff enough.

so for those who have the stance gr+ oem or true, did your setup come with pillowball uppermounts w/ camber plates or did you request it?
